I remember reading an article, about Jacques Yves Cousteau
in the National Geographic. There was a mention of a diver
getting sick at about 200 feet below the surface who threw
up into his Aqua-Lung filling both of the hoses that
connected to the regulator. This was before the addition of
check valves in the breathing tubes.

I've had some real good chili and or BBQ at airports in OK
and TX.

| Brings back memories :-)
| I've always wondered about those so called $100 hamburger
flights. Actually,
| for me in the Mustang, or occasionally in the Bearcat,
those burgers were a
| bit more expensive :-)
| If I remember right, most of those airport hamburgers
bought at those little
| "airport cafe's on the fields were grilled and dripping
with grease. Just
| the thing to settle the old stomach down for a weekend
pilot. Add this to
| the stress of a hot cockpit on a summer day and a new
pilot getting "just a
| little bit lost " on the way home and it's a wonder more
people didn't end
| up puking in the seat pockets :-))
| We had a bevy of line boys who were supposed to take care
of things like
| that, but it seems to me remembering back now, that every
damn time it
| happened, I was the only one on the scene to take care of
it :-))

| I've been lucky or smooth, never had anybody mess up the
| cockpit. Did have one student who came out to fly and
| brought his sister along for the ride, a dual
cross-country
| from Wichita to Emporia, Marion, Newton and back to
Wichita.
| About half way to Emporia they both became ill. Seems
they
| had stopped for hamburgers for lunch and both also were
not
| feeling well before take-off.
| I had plenty (?) of sic-sacks and they used them. When
we
| got to Emporia we threw the used bags in the trash ands
| bought all the sic-sacks they had at the airport, 4 to
| restock the airplane. We also took a while to settle
down.
| But half way to Marion the hamburgers took over again
and
| shortly they had used all four new bags. Then they
still
| got ill because of the smell. She dumped the aircraft
| paperwork in the seat pocket at my instruction and used
the
| zip lock portfolio and he used the right hand pocket of
his
| NEW sports coat.
| I, being the superior pilot/CFI with a nose used to
| shoveling horse droppings and even some pigs [I was a
"pile
| it" , before I became an aviator] was able to resist the
| need for myself. And the smell is still in my nostrils.
|
| hen I was learning to be a CFI, I asked my friend and
| instructor at Spartan (Auggie) how to handle air sick
| students and was told that in the Cessna 150-172
airplanes,
| open the window and stick their head outside. Never had
to
| do that.
|
| BTW, that student is now an FAA Inspector

| | big ----- deal, also BFH = big hammer, tfc too cold
| |
| | The 121 pilots have a full support staff to help
with
| flight
| | planning and a crew to bring and serve the coffee.
The
| 135
| | charter pilot has the best and worst job, gets paid
to
| fly
| | pretty good airplanes but has to carry the luggage,
do
| all
| | the flight planning, brew and serve the coffee, and
| clean
| | the potty.
| |
| | .................not to mention the cockpit vomit,
which
| is a smell that
| | never really leaves the airplane, and I can still
mentally
| visualize to this
| | very day .
